Consumer Description

AS I AM ACCELERATING FROM 25-35 MPH THE VEHICLE ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO SHIFT INTO NEXT GEAR. THE VEHICLE SORT OF JIGGLES/JOLTS WHILE TRYING TO GEAR UP. ONCE REACHING 35/40 MPH THEN VEHICLE RUNS NORMAL. IF I PUSH DOWN ON GAS PEDDLE TO MAKE CAR GO THROUGH THAT GEAR, THE ENGINE REVS UP AND THE VEHICLE KIND OF JOLTS A "GET UP AND GO" FEELING AND THE RPMS GO ABOVE 4K, WHICH THEN VEHICLE GETS UP IN SPEED AND MOVES. ONCE AT 35/40 MPH, THEN THE VEHICLE RUNS SMOOTHLY.
